St. Bartholoma Circuit Trail - Barrier-free Hiking Trail

From the Seelände on Lake Königssee, you can reach the St. Bartholomä peninsula by boat. There, you begin the circular walk, passing the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä, continuing past the National Park Information Center (accessible restroom) on a flat path directly to the wildlife feeding area (winter only). Beyond this, the path turns right for about 100 meters, which you follow to Lake Königssee. There, turn right again and walk along the lakeshore (benches) back to the boat landing.

The walk takes approximately 1 hour (depending on the number of people).
